With a pale, grave face Fedya goes up to his father and touches his cheek with his quivering lips, then walks away and sits down in his place without a word. ANDREY VASSILITCH KOVRIN, who held a master's degree at the University, had exhausted himself, and had upset his nerves.
He'll take five hundred down and an I.O.U. for the rest. And so, Matvey Vassilitch, be so kind as to lend me that five hundred roubles. I will pay you two per cent a month." "What money have I got?" cried Matvey, amazed. "I have no money!" "Two per cent a month will be a godsend to you," the policeman explained.
When Nikitin went out at the gate, a window opened on the first-floor, and Masha showed herself at it. "Sergey Vassilitch!" she called. "What is it?" "I tell you what . . ." said Masha, evidently thinking of something to say. "I tell you what. . . Polyansky said he would come in a day or two with his camera and take us all. We must meet here." "Very well."
Pavel Vassilitch gets up, makes the sign of the cross over his mouth as he yawns, and says softly: "In a minute, my love!" The cat who has been asleep beside him gets up too, straightens out its tail, arches its spine, and half-shuts its eyes. There is stillness. . . . Mice can be heard scurrying behind the wall-paper.
"What is it you don't understand?" Pavel Vassilitch asks Styopa. "Why this . . . division of fractions," the boy answers crossly. "The division of fractions by fractions. . . ." "H'm . . . queer boy! What is there in it? There's nothing to understand in it.
'But you are joking, dash it all. 'No, I am not joking. I heard him go strike, strike, with a match, while the creature persisted in scratching its ribs. The light flared up ... and, hey presto! not a trace remained! Vassily Vassilitch looked at me and I looked at him. 'What trick is this? he said.
But he took Katya's book and wrote in it as a souvenir: "Montehomo, the Hawk's Claw, Chief of the Ever Victorious." "PAVEL VASSILITCH!" cries Pelageya Ivanovna, waking her husband. "Pavel Vassilitch! You might go and help Styopa with his lessons, he is sitting crying over his book. He can't understand something again!"
The cook, Anna, comes into the dining-room, and plumps down at the master's feet. "Forgive me, for Christ's sake, Pavel Vassilitch!" she says, getting up, flushed all over. "You forgive me, too, for Christ's sake," Pavel Vassilitch responds unconcernedly. In the same manner, Anna goes up to the other members of the family, plumps down at their feet, and begs forgiveness.
'Porfiry Kapitonitch, said the latter, and in such an unconcerned voice, you know, 'I did not know you had a dog. What sort is it, a setter? 'I haven't a dog, I said, 'and never have had one! 'You haven't? Why, what's this? 'What's this? said I, 'why, light the candle and then you will see for yourself. 'Isn't it a dog? 'No. Vassily Vassilitch turned over in bed.
She only misses out Markovna to whom, not being one of the gentry, she does not feel it necessary to bow down. Another half-hour passes in stillness and tranquillity. The "Neva" is by now lying on the sofa, and Pavel Vassilitch, holding up his finger, repeats by heart some Latin verses he has learned in his childhood.
